It's what we want anything we have, do and feel to bring us: Happiness

It's simple - but apparently not so easy to get - and when you are happy, you worry about losing that feeling
again.

So, when many of us think and speak of happiness, it's like we are talking about a fairytale or wishful thinking
- something you believe is hard to come by and harder still to keep. And yet, you yearn for it, dream of it, despair over it.

We want to let you experience the Bliss of living a happy life - and of discovering that you can (and do!) make
all the difference. Our trainings, seminars and tools offer you the help and support you've always hoped for, but never thought you would get. Let us let you experience how to live your Happy
life, now.

About the trainers

Bloomers was started in 2008 bij Joyce Colijn and Raymond La Crois, who both have professional theatre
backgrounds, as well as being trained environmentalists, who love to cook and eat great food and have found meditation to be a wonderfully stabilizing factor in their lives over the past 15
years.

Over the years, they have created a network of independent teachers, trainers and coaches who subscribe to the
Bloomers philosophy and who are great assets to the Bloomers team, co-creating, teaching and training many of the Bloomers workshops, projects and trainings.

These days our teaching, training and coaching is done by some of the best experts available in the fields of
theatre training, commercial training, personal development, and personal wellbeing.

Joyce grew up in Zambia with its amazing natural beauty, hence her (natural!) interest in the environment of our
planet and had the good fortune to be exposed to many cultures while attending the International School of Lusaka. This school had a lively theatre scene, even bringing professional theatre
groups from all over the globe to the school, including the Royal Shakespeare Company. This so inspired her, that she chose to become a professional dramatist, after first studying Environmental
Science.

Her interest and subsequent daily practice in the Zen meditative tradition was sparked while working in theatre
in London in the '90s.

Joyce has also trained as a reflexologist and kinesiologist - the principles of which she has over the years
incorporated in her work with groups of all ages and backgrounds.

She is passionate about being able to offer the 8-week MBSR training to groups, as she feels strongly about
people being able to make and keep themselves well throughout their lives.

The one thing she would like people to truly experience is the interconnectedness of all things - people,
animals, the whole planet - and the richness this understanding brings to one's life.

Raymond hails from Leek, in Groningen - the Netherlands' most northerly province. He is passionate about
theatre, the environment - especially energy - and ... steam engines! He feels that this great invention is the single most important contributing factor to being where we are today
technologically.

As a trainer, he is passionate to share with people the techniques and views of great people who went before us
for living a wonderful life in all respects. He has a vast experience in training people in communication and sales skills, and enjoys being part of the process of helping people develop these
skills for themselves.
